Cannot copy multiple events in iCal

Prior to the upgrade, I was able to copy all my day's events and paste them to a form. Now I'm unable to do so. Am I doing something wrong, or is this something with the upgrade to the new software?
Note: I can copy the whole day on my Macbook Pro Retina, but not the desktop.

Hmm....I was able to fix my issues. I'll share it here in the event it can help you.
While iCal was closed I simply moved to trash the folder "/Users/<my username>/Library/Application Support/iCAl/" I then re-opened iCal and I could then create new or import old ".ics" files, close iCal and re-open with all information being retained. Sweet!

  • How do I select multiple events in iCal 8.0?

    In OSX Mavericks, I used to be able to select multiple events in iCal in the event list view. I could select the initial event in the span of events to be selected. Then hold Shift while selecting the final even in the span of events. As a result, all of the events in that span would be selected.
    in OSX Yosemite, this is no longer possible. There appears to be no list view, and holding the Shift button does not allow me to select a span of events.
    What is the best way to select a span of events, say as much as 30 events?
    Thank you.

  • How do I copy multiple events from a single calendar to another calendar?

    I have multiple events from my "Family" calendar that I want to move. I would like to create a new calendar and move only specific events from my "Family" calendar to this new calendar. I have tried to select each event, then export, but this doesn't seem to work. It seems to export all events in the "Family" calendar, not just the ones that have been selected. Is there any way to do this aside from exporting each event one at a time and reimporting to a new calendar?

    Drag them there. The volume they’re put onto needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended.

  • Copy multiple items from ical alters sorting order

    I use OSX leopard with iCal 3.0.1. I would like to select multiple items and copy-paste them into a text document or spreadsheet. I use iCal to keep track of people's working hours and I need to send the hours to salary admin at the end of each month.
    Using the "search" option within iCal, I can select all item concerning the working hours of, let's say, "George". If I copy-paste them into another application (Word, Mail, Numbers, Excel) the sorting order of the items altered. It looks like a rather random order. I want to have it ordered by date opbviously! Does anyone recognize this problem?

    Pieter,
    would send feedback to apple on this, recreated the behavior on both of my macs for multiple search results, and each time same thing, order is altered...

  • Duplicate / multiple events in iCal on iPhone

    Just lately I get duplicate and even multiple (up to seven or eight) repeats of various events when I sync my iPhone with my MacBook Pro. I do not use the iCloud feature on the iPhone, and don't have it on the Mac -- in System Prefs and on the very top bar of the screen it still has icons for Mobile Me. I currently have OS 10.6.8 and iOS 5.0. I sync only with a USB cable, no Clouds, no Wi-Fi, no BlueTooth. Have been trying to find an answer here, but they all revolve around Clooud/Mobile Me being the culprit. Having eliminated those sources of error, I think it is a problem between the Mac OS and the iPhone iOS.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately, I don't believe that's possible.

  • HT2513 Cannot Create New Events in iCal

    Hello:
    I recently deleted a large number of appointments from my iCal using my MacBook. Now, iCal on the MacBook will not allow me to see new events I want to create, but it will push the new events to my other devices using iCloud. What's going on?

    Hmm....I was able to fix my issues. I'll share it here in the event it can help you.

  • Cannot create new events in iCal - they dissappeaar after quitting

    Hello there,
    I've used iCal for many years with no problem.
    Recently I noticed that events were dissappearing.
    I can add events and use iCal as normal as long as I don't quit the program or restart my computer. I can put the computer to sleep and all my new events are fine, but as soon as I restart or quit and reopen ical all the new events have dissappeared. Bizarrely my old events remain intact and events in the future that I added before the problemn started are also still there.
    I have tried backing up the database before quitting, then reverting to the backup database, but even when i do this there are no new events visable.
    Can anyone offer any help. I feel like i need to reinstall iCal or something.
    Thanks.
    Damien

  • How to delete multiple events in Ical that are already passed?

    I've downloaded a fixtures calendar for a football season. (It's not a subscription, it's a calendar file). i've set preferences to delete events 1 day after they finish but old entries are still showing - as far back as 6 months. Is there a way to do a smart search or master delete that can delete all 'Done' events in a calendar? There are too many to keep selecting and deleting individually.
    Thanks!

    Thats a good tip Reggie.
    For anyone else reading this post, keep in mind that if you see "duplicates" with the MobileMe calendar it may mean you are seeing two separate copies of the same calendar.  Before spending time deleting individual events read this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3505

  • Events cannot have multiple exceptions for the same date

    I just starting getting this message and could not sync to one of my Google calendars. I'm posting this for others who might get the same problem.
    I didn't find the answer on these forums but did find it on this thread on Google:
    http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Calendar/thread?tid=241155f758d9e2a4&hl=en
    Here's the important excerpt:
    "I had a client, who just had this same issue, nothing to do with Google cals.
    It was apparently, in my best guess, a corruption of the subscribed cal.
    *I did a get info on the cal, copied the URL, deleted the cal, then re-subscribed to it by pasting in the URL, and now it's working fine*."

    I've been having the same problem with my iCal calendars and the "Events cannot have multiple exceptions for the same date" error. Once it gets going, it uses up a lot of the CPU and resources. After reinstalling iCal, all my calendars were missing and I could not even resubscribe to them.
    I took my MacBook Pro to the Apple Store, and they were able to solve the problem by moving some of the iCal files from their existing folders out to the desktop, and reopening the program. That got it working, however, now I'm having the same problem again. So back to square one. Anyone else having this issue and know the cause?
    My setup is my MacBook Pro uses Entourage, use that calendar in my iCal. And I subscribe to two calendars my wife publishes on her Macbook. We're both using Snow Leopard.

  • I've just updated my iPhone 4 and now cannot add events in iCal. Anyone having the same problem?  Thanks!

    I've just updated my iPhone 4 to 5.0.1 and now cannot add events in iCal. Anyone having the same problem?  Thanks!

    The SMS links thing is highly annoying. You don't have to copy/paste however. You should see an icon like this: (>) to the right of the text bubble with the link. Tap on that, the in the screen that opens, tap "Visit".
    Alternatively, you can tap twice directly on the link, then hold your finger down after the second tap.
    Still unnecessarily difficult, but not as bad as copy/paste.
    What I don't get is why can't I find any mention of this change or how to fix it (if even possible) elsewhere online?

  • Linking multiple emails to a single event in ical and/or to do's

    Hi:
    Often I receive emails and I want to link them to an event in ical. OS X does this just fine as long as there is date in the email that OS X can recognize. The problem is sometimes I get multiple emails relating to the same event and I would like to be able to link all of those emails to one single event in ical. My same questions applies to 'to do' items.
    And a follow up question--say I receive an email that has no date explicit in the text-I've tried to find some function that would allow me to schedule a new event in ical and would link that email to it. (I hope that all makes sense) I'm open to whatever solution I'll even pay money for 3rd party software if anyone knows of a good program. But I"m looking to stick to the basic ical interface. Any suggestions?

    Hi rtwigg,
    seems this is one of visio graphics limitation regarding the external data.
    visio graphics, may only support for one row.
    you may consider this idea :
    "It is a good idea to separate your rows into visual units so that you have everything you need and nothing else in a single row. To link a shape to a data row, simply drag the row from the external data window and drop it on the shape. A default data
    graphic should immediately appear next to the shape displaying some data from the row. From here you are able to customize the graphic to fit your needs"
    by means, you may need to use the visio client.

  • Cannot invite attendees to iCal event in iCal 5.0 on new MacOSX lion?

    Hi there,
    Background: I have two gmail calendars snyced with the new iCal 5.0 on MacOsx Lion.
    Problem: When creating an event, I cannot add anybody to the event. The attendee field is just nonexistant. If I drag and drop a business card into iCal a new event is created with the person listed as attendee, but I cannot edit this event.
    Cry for help: This is weird - I need this to work. With those basics, there is no excuse for iCal . I cannot find anything relevant on the web. Did anybody experience something similar?
    Thanks for your support,
    B

    Got a solutions for you that worked for me because I have the same annoying problem.
    1. sign in to iclould on the website www.icloud.com/
    2. Go to your calendar
    3. You'll noticed some extra benefits of creating invents here instead of iCal app.  You can actually invite attendees!!  Also, when selecting a day for your event, it pops up a calendar and you just click on the day you want.  On iCal you have to manually type in the date numbers.
    Hope this was helpful.

  • Bugs with Lion! Cannot delete events in iCal and other stuff...

    First, sorry for my English, I speak French...
    I installed Lion on my MacBook Pro, my iMac and on my girlfriend's MacBook Pro and I have the same problems on each computer! Help please!
    I try to delete an event on iCal and it always comes back!! I cannot delete it and I cannot delete an entire calendar too! It disappears and 10 seconds later, it's back!
    I also removed an icon from the Dock but when I restart the computer, it is back in the dock!
    I have also some issues with the file sharing between my Macs. Usually, I entered the username and password of the Mac and it was possible to access everything from another Mac. But now it doesn't work! I think that I must create a new user account for file sharing...
    What should I do??
    Thanks!!!

    I have the same issues with items "re-appearing" in the dock after reboot or waking from sleep. I went into recovery mode, wiped my hard drive, and cleanly reinstalled lion to no avail. I had other issues that cleared up, but my dock is full of apps I never use...so I can only conclude its a bug.
